I mentioned this before in LemmyGrad's thread but for 99% of people it literally doesn't matter what your partners political opinions are going to be if you get along.

If you live in the west you probably aren't going to lead the vanguard revolution in your lifetime. The most likely outcome is you read theory and watch as a bunch of liberals run the government for your entire life. As long as they aren't literal fascists calling for the death of minorities, don't deny yourself personal happiness out of some kind of ideological purity. You're the equivalent of a medieval peasant 200 years away from bourgeoisie revolution.

There is no material difference between the DSA radlibs and ML commies because the latter are still limited by the conditions which prevent revolution in the West.
